- FILM: The Charge of the Light Brigade 1968
The last act came on the far right of the Russian line where 10,000 troops were still unused and uncommitted. They were faced by the advancing Highland Brigade; a mere three battalions. Led by Sir Colin Campbell, the 93rd (Highland) Regiment, the 79th (Cameron Highlanders) Regiment and the 42nd (Royal Highland) Regiment were advancing in a dangerously thin line extended for almost 2,000 yards (2,000 m) although in the smoke and confusion of battle the Russians were unable to see that it was only two ranks deep. The highly disciplined Highland Brigade advanced firing, a task difficult to accomplish in those days. For the Russians it proved too much and they fell back. The Battle of the Alma was effectively over. On the right of the Allied line, Canrobert had finally got his guns up the cliffs and his Zouaves seized Telegraph Hill. The ridge Lord Raglan had so dramatically made his own was now swarming with red-coated troops. The Russian right was fleeing before the Highland Brigade, the Greater Redoubt was taken and the road to Sevastopol was now open.
The Russian retreat became a rout and Lord Raglan sought permission to pursue the Russians, but General St. Arnaud decided this was impossible for his French troops had left their packs at their start points across the river and would have to go back for them before further advances. Raglan was unwilling to pursue the enemy without French support and the broken Russian army was able to escape unmolested.
As the British prepared to meet the Russian attack an unknown officer shouted "Do not fire! They are French." Other officers shouted the order to fire and in the confusion the British troops began to withdraw from the Redoubt.
One of the greatest war movies ever made. Trevor Howard as Lord Cardigan is simply amazing ..
A bit of trivia Trevor Howard was discharged from the army because it was believed he had psychopathic tendencies. Don't ask me how they came to that conclusion
DAVY. J.Y..
Cardigan ! ? Corporal Cardigan
Your right there and Sir Arthur John Gielgud did a great job playing his Grace Lord Raglan very well yep Lord Raglan was my favourite character in the film he was a good military leader most of the time while the world’s famous charge did have a trouble bit in it at least he won battles very well like Alma and my favourite battle in this cool studying war Inkerman but no matter what happens his uncle in law and former master leader his highness the Iron Duke of Wellington will always be the greater military leader, I will always admire more but still this film is the best film in the 60s, I’ve ever seen hope you okay with that Mr Davy.J.Y sir if that’s alright please.
@@drewharding I certainly am ok with that, you are quite right in what you state, i agree 100% .
I have this movie and also Waterloo in my watch list for next month. I have a few other movies and Docu's to get through first .
Good movie, acting and battle scenes, getting all those extra's, uniforms, and horses into position / choreography must have been challenging. Even doing that attack wearing modern combat uniforms and gear would be hard, let alone wearing what in essence are ceremonial uniforms which usually restrict breathing for any arduous physical activity.
wonderful film
My great great grandfather fought in the Crimean War.Fought in Alma,Inkerman and Sevastopol with the 50th Foot Queens Own Regiment and survived to migrate to New Zealand (my country which he settled )where he then fought in the Land Wars of the 1860’s.

I really love the longshots of the battle like at 6:34 with the infantry advance, the Russians being routed at 7:41 and the battle at its conclusion at 7:46. These are my favorite types of shots in old war films because everything that is seen in them is 100% real.

Lack of realistic 19th century violence, it's a soft representation let's say...
6:05 Maj. Gen. Sir Colin Campbell of the 93rd Highlanders : "Whoever is wounded, lie where he is until a bandsman comes to him. No soldier may go off carrying wounded men. If any man does such a thing, his name shall be stuck up in his parish church. Come! Advance!"
Плохая организация
Nothing unusual about that fro the period. Standard practice with most armies until quite recently, and still is with the Russians.
This movie was shown as an anti war statement to show the futility of war.
Now people seem to think it shows the glory and heroism of war!
Just shows that people never learn.
It's not "futile"when someone attacks you.Bad guys exist.
Where's Flashman? Probably doing his damn best to remain at the rear.
He was rootin lord cardigans wife in a tent.
Actually, it would have been Fan Duberly if he'd had his way.
Flashman was actually at the front bluff with Raglan during this battle.
love trevor howard as lord cardigan so funny john gielgud amazing performance
1:12 the palace guards still wear those glorious hats ! Fabulous !
To bad they're only for ceremonial purposes these days, well probably for a good reason.
They are the cold stream guards
Thats the coldstream guards,i believe the Scots guards also wear that
@@deepyamandas1192 all 5 foot gaurds regiments wear the bear skin
He mentions he didn't want the cavalry to engage as it would make them raggedy around the edges with casualties. Perhaps the uniforms where too pretty. Camo green or at least Russian grey may have been more pragmatic.
Greetings from Russia! I highly recommend book seria of the Russian military historian Sergey Chennyk "Crimean campaign of the Eastern war 1853-1856". I also advise reading to my English comrades the books of 19th-century Russian military historians Bogdanovich and Zayonochkovsky, devoted to this topic too.
Hubert Mikromachen what the Russian guys say?
@@Tom-2142 Русские молчат. Вообще-то, сражение на Альме запомнилось контратакой Владимирского полка. В фильме её нет. Ни одного русского слова в этом отрывке фильма я не услышал.
From reading the Wikipedia article, that seems like a mighty pointless war, of the we're-fighting-each-other-because-we-can sort.
All wars before ww2 were pointless, they were literally about expansion, colonizations and monetary interests and people were totally fine with it.
In our modern era we need to make exercuses for war, it’s always freedom, democracy, peace keeping or terrorism.
Could you imagine how people would react, if their government told them the truth that their for the oil, minerals and political subjugate the country under it.
France still colonizes Africa, and when it intervened it’s against jihad.
The war was to check russian expansion and aggression against ottomans no one gained anything but still the russians were checked and made them understand that their military is not that great so it wasnt pointless
@@polishherowitoldpilecki5521 exactly modern day wars are the same except nowadays people just find some excuse to cover their real objective
@@deepyamandas1192 yeap and this defeat made the Czar realise that his country must be modernised : abolition of serfdom few years later and beginning of economic reforms to industrialize the country. But the pace of reforms was to slow, an another defeat in 1905 followed by a aborted revolution. Russia was really taking off though before ww1 and 1he 1917 revolution would not have possible without the war
God, I hate the British High Command after the Napoleonic Wars. They wasted the lives of so many good British Troops in every corner of the world for at least 100 years even up to WWI.
Spudee Murphy : I remember the disastrous result of the Dieppe Raid and a Great meal after WWII when Lord Beaverbrook blamed Lord Louis Mountbatten for the death of thousands of canadian soldiers.
That is why the most successful were Sir John Monash (Aussie) and Sir Aurthur Currie non career soldier who thought outside the box.
"Monash was the first commander to use air, armour and infantry in an operation and it was stunningly successful."This is absolutely not true. Byng used combined arms at Cambrai in 1917, a good 8 months before Hamel or Amiens. While I agree that both Monash and Currie were superb commanders, their reputations have been inflated by super nationalistic Australian and Canadian narratives of the war. Brit generals like Maxse, Plumer and Byng were good too. Ultimately, the point is that not all British officers were donkeys and there were plenty of duff commanders from the dominions.
Wolfen443 I was going to disagree with you and then I thought about the Boer Wars and the Zulu Wars and the Indian Rebellion and realised you're right lol
While Cambrai is most famous for the use of tanks Byng certainly did use air support. It is a very good example of combined arms and there is a ton of literature to support this. In short - it's a fact. However, this doesn't mean that Byng invented the concept either. The British and French had attempted combined arms approaches since early 1917. Thus the best way to view Monash's contribution at Amiens is not that he pulled the idea out of his rear end but that he skillfully adopted combined arms principles which gave the very good soldiers under his command (Canadian Corps, Australian Corps & elite British divisions) the best chance of success.
Consummate performance from Gielgud.
0:36 "Russians! Ooo Russians! :D"
No disrespect to other countrys soldiers but in the early days of the empire the scots troops were always in the thick of the fighting great fighting men are the jocks.
Used as fodder to weigh up the opposition.
@@jimboll6982 Wars against despots like Hitler or Napoleon had to be done or they take over the world.Every European nation was at the land grabbing before GB the French,Belgians,Dutch,Spanish, Portuguese the Ottomans had to be stopped. So every nation has to use men as cannon fodder till those cannons are silenced and the despots who would enslave us all were stopped.Its more complicated than just the Europeans being used as cannon fodder it goes back thousands of years it's got to be done, what's your solution.
For sure
That's just Hollywood.
It's more romantic than Jack booted Englishmen.
@@haraldisdead No Englishmen wore jackboots your thinking of goose stepping Germans mate .
This war was an absolute waist of people lives. All the results of this war were abolished after the Russian-Turkish war of 77-78.
Nice pretty and fabulous uniforms enticed many to join the army. There is one born every minute.
The film was made to mock the futility of war and insult the memory of our British soldiers who lived in an age where duty to the Crown was paramount to self interest....( apart from the 20% of soldiers who had to fight or face Prison/Deportation to Australia lol ).
Templar Knight a lot of men in Britain during the campaigns of the Georgian and Victorian era joined not only to escape crime and the envitable pushiment but something that probably led them to the Navy or to the army in the first place extreme poverty.
Chris Holland Absolutely, that goes without saying. What's your point ?.
E@@templarknight5557 The point being, You 🌻have little or no understanding of how people of that era lived or sustained theit lives.
Про какую корону идёт речь!? Про бандитов и убийц на англ. троне!!? Про банду негодяев, живущих тысячу лет за счёт грабежа других народов!?
@@user-ny9sp5ie9u согласен, тоже им написал это,воры и грабители мелкобританские
Nit picking -- In several shots we see the British infantry marching with high swinging arms. That was not part of the drill manual until the 1870s.
oh for petes sake..its a wonderful film...u dont see its like today
The thumbnail shows the preparation for the charge NOT the battle of the Alma although this clip does show the battle of the Alma(river). Still a classic war movie with Trevor Howard and Harry Andrews
This film shows the absolutely horrible tragedy of the European population of having to endure the domination of Thier existence by the bloodthirsty warrior aristocrats using European people as cannon fodder

Still waiting for a Crimean Total War mod to be made, getting close though !!!
that'd be great..love stuff bout Crimean War
@@englandshope689 The closest thing i can think of is in Shogun 2 , Total FOTS mod aka Scramble for the East. An excellent mod i can recommend.
Also with a user name like that Happy St George's Day 👍👍
The speech of George Brown + the scottish Major and the mutual insults of Lucan vs Cardigan in old english accent are among the greatest dialogues of movie history😂
George Brown made an unfortunate move that cost the English troops a lot
@@fredericmartin6994: Correct, but to attack without support of artillery and cavalry wasn't a idea of his own. He got his orders.
It's surprising how little warfare had changed between the Napoleonic Wars and the Crimean War. They didn't even adopt Khaki till 1900.
In 1885, the British dressed some soldiers in red coats and sent them up river to General Gordan in Khartoum. It was felt that the sight of British infantry in their red coats would cause the jihadists to panic and disperse, ending the siege. Unfortunately, after the handful of soldiers had departed on the steamer back downriver to the main force, the Mahdi, under the impression that the relieving force was close, decided on an immediate attack. The defenders of Khartoum were wiped out.
But the red coats were clearly still iconic in 1885.
Warfare was a little stagnant until the Great War. The French in the beginning of WW1 wore their standard blue uniforms too which proved to be quite deadly.
yet 15 years later we were using trench warfare in the american cival war i think this is where war changed an hospitls at battlefields
@@simonbrown9695 only ten years later.
In fact there was one trooper who rode in the charge and survived.
He later went to America and joined the Union army where he took part in one of the great battles.
He survived and returned to England.
I know this because he is buried not far from where I live.
Not surprising, its the use of musket amd black powdet that made war what it was in the 19th century
I thought the 42nd was the Blackwatch and the 93rd was the Gordon
42nd was indeed the Black Watch, 92nd was the Gordons....93rd was the Sutherland Highlanders. In 1881, the 93rd and 91st (Argyllshire Highlanders) were amalgamated to become the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.
In total, I believe that roughly 9,000 men lay dead after this ass backwards battle. All Russian wounded who were unable to move were left on the field. It was British rifle fire that really carried the day, that and French forces attacking up slopes said to not be scalable by a force.
Robert E. Lee would speak often of this battle, saying that it carried many lessons on what not to do, and one or two on what must be done to defeat an enemy on the field. "If your troops shoot straighter than theirs, then you have a major advantage even over superior numbers." Lee would also say that doing what "your enemy deems not to be possible will defeat him both militarily and psychologically." Lee felt that French General Jacques St. Arnaud was the genius of Alma.
mistakes in this clip from historical truth:
- saint arnauld didn't die in the field, he was dead on the transport ship while en route to crimea
- this scene has no depiction of retreating british light division, and no guns were shown captured by the first attack of the light division, all infantry did pile up only in the last attack
well, its a movie after all..
My understanding is that the Victoria Crosses are made from Russian cannons from this war.
True, my friend.
@freebeerfordworkers -- I think Russia gave them another cannon.
That's correct👍
@@duanepigden1337 doubt it
Quite right, not much left now then.
Love the redcoats in this great battle red always is the best colour to win battles right guys RULE BRITAINNA
Like playing with toy soldiers except they are real people and they bleed and die.
Except that this tactic of line firing still worked so really there's not much to complain
Russians suffered about 5000 casualties in this battle but no one is seen in this scene
u cant be serious..maybe glasses will help ?
@@englandshope689 I really can’t see it
Это похоже те бомжи в серых тряпках которые удирали в гору изображали русских(правда форма тогда была зеленая) для сравнения в СССР тогда старались показать историю максимально достоверно например война и мир
Русские в обороне Севастополя воевали против 3х стран,так что не надо лапши,а то что мелкобритский лорд с похмелья кгорбил бригаду своей кавалерии это факт
@@user-ne8xe7oj3d for sure
"Told you he wasn't well, Harry." :-D Who--who wrote this stuff? Monty Python?
Sgt. Bilko He didn't say 'Harry' he said 'Airey'. Lord Airey was Lord Raglan's chief of staff.
The total number of French servicemen who died of diseases in the Crimean War was 75,375, and the British - 17,225. In both cases, for 10 killed and died from wounds (as well as the consequences of wounds - sepsis, etc.), 37 died due to diseases.
Excellent ! French bashing : 0 Reality ; 1
noooo lol.. WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR "FACTS" GENIUS ?????? COMPLETELY false !!! That's what's called French bashing with absolutely no truth to your invented facts (called lies) to back what you wrote up Sam Jork. Jackass. HERE ARE THE ACTUAL NUMBERS:
""""The battle cost the French roughly 1,600 casualties, the British 2,000, the Ottomans 503, and the Russians some 5,000.""""
You're full of it. Know the actual facts instead of blindly think this is a podium for French bashing.

It all began and ended at the Crimea; including the cause for which it was fought: Religion, and the threat to the Suez Canal.
What rifle are the British using?
Most were using Enfields, although some still had their Brown Bess Muskets (they were phased out during the Crimean War).
Great chapeau’s
No cgi here !
Был я на месте сражения. Место гораздо менее гористое. Хотя у русских войск положение было действттельно на более высоком месте. Стоят памятники погибшим солдатам ВСЕХ сторон.

No Name ... The French and British wished the Russians wouldn't expand influence into the Crumbling Ottoman Empire due to the great game ( a political stand off between Russia and Britain) they were successful.
@@NoName-mx4uk Shouldn't of taken Germany's side then, otherwise things would of been different.
а откуда они на Альму едут по каким то горам??????????????????????????
fighting the wrong enemy,allied with the wrong country,just the same now.
typical of our British foreign policy
I don't think you understand. The Ottomans didn't want to steal India (which was the most important colonial possession) from Britain. However, Russia wanted India for itself. British were constantly afraid that the Russians would become powerful and take India away from them. I mean...of course they're going to fight Russia instead of the ottomans.
Don't look at it in the modern context: Muslims vs westerners (which you are stupidly doing) but as major imperialist powers vs another major imperialist power, which was essentially what the war was about. An imperialist power (Britain) fearing that another imperialist (Russia) was gaining too much power and posing a risk and threat to its own imperial interests. Just as Britain became fearful of Germany's growing power before WWI.
British army bustard sheep's and Russian army greatest army
so you found the right ally in world war 1 and got ass beaten by ottomans , this war was not the achievment of brits , they just like to say that .
Russia did not want India. They wanted Constantinople back. We should have backed Russia against the Muslims. Even some British officers made that observation at the time.
Really. The last I checked the Ottomans lost the war and were forced to give up large areas of land.
Great chapeaus
and the Finns fought here for the Russian czar :)
Finns are one of the best soldiers l ever seen, best example Winter war against Russia in 1939.
Anthony Smith TX GRMAR NAZHI
What I find so pointless about the entire Crimean campaign and the 3 major battles which was all there were of any significance,
(the dithering indecisive bumbling of the British High Command
to blame here) was if they had made one concerted strike straight for Sevastopol they would have ended that war in days
instead of over a year and pointless losses of lives and materials.
At the Alma the British acted the same way tactically as they
did during the American Revolution. They were dawdling and the French waited a whole 8-9 hours on the British to
finish their morning tea and breakfast, then almost till afternoon
(4pm) tea. The French Zouaves were suffering from exposure from their being drenched in crossing the Alma to flank the
Russians when the order to wait was given! They had to climb
the cliffs on the right extreme flank of the heights before they
made their attack.
It is amazing and amusing how the movie depicts a battle that teetered on the brink of disaster because of British High Command ineptitude and was an day and a half in duration
making it fit in 9 minutes! Lol!
charge of the light brigade. made in the 1968The disastrous campaign in the crimea.
The battle and war won because the Russians couldn't cope with the new advances in ballistics used by the allies, namely the Minié ball. It was the Minié ball that made the difference in this war.
took em a long time to finally 'win' after heavy losses
Rich man's war..... Poor man's fight. Imperialism never did anything for the working class of any nation.
Interestingly a local hill is named Alma
So the 'Rebel Yell' in the American Civil War had Scottish origins?
*Ulster Scots
More of the rebs were English though. But plenty of Ulster Scots too.
-Russians.
-Mmm, Russians...
From the late 1960s remake of The Charge of the Light Brigade. This film was so inferior to the original 1936 production starring Errol Flynn.
What was the purpose for this war?
Tom Sanders
thank you. very interesting.
Apart from dreadful british high command blusters, the british and french infantry could fire at 600 yards as opposed to the russian smoothbore muskets at 100 or so yards...
I know the officers bought commissions was it Cardigan who bought his for 50k.A lot of debates about why the british wore red coats in these days cannon and muskets/rifles made the battlefields full of smoke commanders struggled to see who was who.Improvements in ammunition (less use of powder)meant armys could now wear khaki.
The red coat dates back to the New Model Army and the Great Rebellion. Quite simply it was the cheapest dye on offer, probably Madder based.
@@TheArgieH You have your theory bud I have mine agree to disagree lol.
@@BRIDGETONBILLYBOYS Fair enough. Actually red for uniforms at least started with the Romans. You can see dye vats at Pompeii, sometimes mistaken for fast food outlets (the Romans had lots of those).

Does any one know the name of this movie?
The Charge of the Light Brigade 1968
The Infantry advance was clearly a waste of time. Why didn't the British just use cannon fire, cannon fire and even more cannon fire, before even contemplating a foot patrol towards the enemy. This reminds me of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Despite hundreds of British deaths from hidden incendiary devices (mines) the senior leadership insisted on daily foot patrols...and everyday there was always a British casualty as a result of such wasted foot patrols. British leaders often sacrifice hundreds, even thousands of lives, in order to meet a small objective.
No amount of artillery fire could have dislodged the Russians, who had their own artillery. Only an infantry assault could have succeeded. It was either that, or just go home.
In Iraq and Afghanistan, speaking as a cowardly weak kneed civilian, it seems obvious to me why the British insisted on patrols. The main problem with the Afghan and Iraq campaigns were a lack of commitment, and a lack of aggression, not a surfeit of these.
The British at home refused to commit the considerable resources necessary, while their enemies were ready to commit everything. And the army high command needed to find ways to deal with small numbers of enemies who were prepared to attack and then to fade into civilian life.
brits were nothing but a symbolic force who claim the victory of ottomans for themself as if the brits were more advanced than ottomans , we have seen the confrontation decades later.
No Name Yet you Lost in the great war
This was the last war with musketry as the only weapon!

The Charge of the Light Brigade 1968
Mr. Putler Gollum Thanks!
Charge of the Light Brigade
This movie is I believe a 1970 reprise of "The Charge of the Light Brigade" and much more accurate than the fiction released by
Warner Bros (1936) Errol Flynn Olivia De Haviland. This is a Spot-
on narrative which was made to lampoon the absurdity of war and how the British nobility and aristocracy treated their troops
and life in general as if it were a board game at one of their London gentleman's clubs.

Think about this: have Russian troops ever landed on the British Isles?
Nice.
Wussians! Ooh, Wussians!
This is all very confusing
worldpeace32 it's not really. The Highlanders and British infantry advance on Russian positions with some horse artillery.
not confusing at all: Sir Collin Campbell leading the Highland brigade attacking Russian positions on the the hill after crossing the Alma river
It is and unfortunately it did not lend itself well to the films rating at the time, which was poor. To understand what is going on you need to have at least read the campaign history in brief and even in 1968 I doubt many people had much knowledge of the war save for Florence Nightingale and some charge by a load of cavalry. This film so accurately portrays the uniforms and attire of the day yet failed wholesale to communicate it to a 1960's audience. I look on it now with awe simply due to the accuracy of the uniforms and general attire of 1850's Britain.
Confused, who was fighting who?
Primarily British, French and Ottomans vs the Russians
